The Pilot — Restaurant in Wolverhampton

1st October 2021-Pendeford village:

A local had recommended this pub so decided to go and have a look, looked okay from the outside so I popped in for something to eat at lunchtime What a welcoming atmosphere, staff were very friendly.

I looked at the menu and ordered their Classic Double Beef Burger with chips and it soon arrived at my outdoors covered seating area, wow...what quick service!

Sizzling pubs website needs to state that there may be different rules at each pub rather than having generic FAQs that do not apply to all. Have added a star as manager very pleasant...

The food came which should of been a steak sizzler I'm afraid my steaks sizzle had long left my plate ,and was full off gristle only could cut round edges. My grandson had the burger which had a very stale bap all very disappointing We went out side for a drink after food and what a dirty garden,litter everywhere, Glasses on tables like been there from night before as garden was empty. I'm sorry this pub needs a good deep clean, and tidy up. There seemed to be enough staff standing around...
